Installation notes
• The aerial should be installed on a level
surface where radio waves will be
blocked as little as possible. Radio waves
cannot be received by the aerial if
reception from the satellite is blocked.

Rear shelf
• When installing the GPS aerial inside the
vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet
provided with your system. If this is not
used, the reception sensitivity will be
poor.
• Do not cut the accessory metal sheet.
This would reduce the sensitivity of the
GPS aerial.
• Take care not to pull the aerial lead when
removing the GPS aerial. The lead may
become detached.
• Do not paint the GPS aerial, as this may
affect its performance.

shelf)
WARNING
Do not install the GPS aerial over any sensors or vents on the dashboard of the vehicle, as
doing so may interfere with the proper functioning of such sensors or vents and may
compromise the ability of the metal sheet under the GPS aerial to properly and securely
affix to the dashboard.

NOTES
• Affix the metal sheet on the surface as level as possible where the GPS aerial faces the
window.
• Affix the GPS aerial on the metal sheet using the double-sided tape.
• The metal sheet contains a strong adhesive which may leave a mark on the surface if it is
removed.
• When attaching the metal sheet, do not cut it into small pieces.
• Some models use window glass that does not allow signals from GPS satellites to pass
through. On such models, install the GPS aerial on the outside of the vehicle.
Make sure the surface is free of
moisture, dust, grime, oil, etc.,
before affixing the metal sheet.
